$40,000 Goal

For more than 40 years, Explorit Science Center has provided interactive, inquiry-based learning that helps kids make connections between what they can see and touch and the fundamental rules that underlie the complexity of our natural world. 

We design innovative and engaging science programs, and we deliver them to Pre-K, Kindergarten and elementary school children at our center in Davis and where they are needed in schools across 18 counties in Northern California. Our mission is to ignite and foster curiosity about science and nature through inquiry and discovery. 

Please help support Explorit continue to achieve our mission of bringing science to the community.

As we recently shared with the community (CBS-13 report below), Explorit is facing a critical financial challenge that is threatening the future of our programs. Absent immediate community support to help bridge this difficult situation, Explorit will be forced to dramatically scale back the scope of our activities.

Explorit relies on contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations that share a commitment to science education. These generous donations help fund interactive exhibits, community programs, and educational resources that benefit thousands of students and families each year. 

Your gift to Explorit on the Big Day of Giving  makes these programs possible!

Explorit is committed to finding long-term solutions through a new strategic plan to diversify its revenue sources, but it needs immediate support to bridge this financial gap. Your donation today will allow us to deliver scheduled programming for the remainder of the academic year and to reach more young, inquiring minds across Northern California.

Mission

"To ignite and foster curiosity about science and nature through inquiry and discovery."

Needs

Explorit Science Center is at its busiest in the spring and summer, bringing school programs to the community and offering our beloved summer camps. As mentioned, our financial situation has put this programming at risk. Please donate today to help us provide the hands-on learning that our kids deserve. Recurring donations would also very much help us plan Explorit activities through the year. Please contact us at explorit@explorit.org if you're interested in working with us!
